Photograph of the day: The Blue Whale in Catoosa, just outside Tulsa, has been a Route 66 landmark since it was constructed in 1970 as an anniversary gift from Hugh Davis to his wife, Zelta. (I already asked Anthony for a whale for our upcoming anniversary. He promised to carve one for me out of a hotel soap.)


Quote of the day: “Oklahoma is just like Hawaii,” Paris says. “It’s really green and the air is hot and wet. But they don’t have a beach. Hmmm…why don’t they have a beach here?”

High point of the day: The breakfast buffet at our hotel in Oklahoma City has donuts. (I’m a mean mom and I don’t let the kids have one since they have eaten so much junk on this trip. But I sneak one into my pocket and eat it in the bathroom. Yum!)

Low point of the day: Lots and lots of rain. We get stuck in two traffic jams due to accidents on Tulsa highways.
